  • The International Code Council (ICC), a membership association dedicated to building safety and fire prevention, develops the codes used to construct residential and commercial buildings, including homes and schools. Most U.S. cities, counties and states that adopt codes choose the International Codes, building safety codes developed by the International Code Council. The Code Council is a United States-based non-governmental organization which allows U.S. jurisdictions around the world and other stakeholders to collaborate to create model building codes and other building safety standards. The International Codes, or I-Codes, published by the International Code Council, provide minimum safeguards for people at home, at school and in the workplace. The I-Codes are a complete set of comprehensive, coordinated building safety and fire prevention codes. Building codes benefit public safety and support the industry’s need for one set of codes without regional limitations. Fifty states and the District of Columbia have adopted the I-Codes at the state or jurisdictional level. Federal agencies including the Architect of the Capitol, General Services Administration, National Park Service, Department of State, U.S. Forest Service and the Veterans Administration also enforce the I-Codes. The Department of Defense references the International Building Code for constructing military facilities, including those that house U.S. troops, domestically and abroad. Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands enforce one or more of the I-Codes. International Code Council members include state, county and municipal code officials and fire officials, architects, engineers, builders, contractors, elected officials, manufacturers and others in the construction industry. The International Code Council has more than 300 chapters. Each chapter has its own personality and focus, representing all International Code Council member professional disciplines. The International Code Council develops the International Energy Conservation Code, a model energy efficiency code. This is one of many sustainable, green safe construction initiatives of the Council. The International Code Council develops a standard for Accessible and Usable Buildings and Facilities. It is a nationally recognized standard of technical requirements for making buildings accessible. In 2008 the Code Council, in an alliance with Citation Technologies, developed an online portal for ICC codes.
